Your question is simple but hard also. the biggest thing was the engine upgrade from the lds427 to the ldt465 with turbo or clean air kit mod. To do the change the radiator and the front sheet metal is removed to remove the old motor. After the new motor is in place a hole is made for the new...

The shackles are the same size just the front ones according to the parts TM is just beefier instead of looking like round stock bent to shape its more of a triangler shape cross section wise. If you look at the m35a2 it's the same thing the front shackles are bigger than the ones on the rear...

The front shackles are bigger or beefier than the rear ones. That's why the two different parts numbers. The rears are the round loop style while the front ones are like the lower front shackles on the m35a3. Don't know why they did this. But most cucvs will have the ones for the rear on all...

The m35a3 was also modified with three point seat belts. If the bench seat was used then there were three sets. It was part of the extended use program that was done in the 1990s I think. Look at a TM for the m35a3 and you can see all the additional stuff that was added in the cab to do it.

I am a member of the MVCC and the topic of registration and titling vehicles is discussed from time to time at the meetings. I had missed the cut off on my m1009 by one month for the collector plate. I live in a area that requires emissions on diesel vehicles every year. The tech that performs...

All cucv trailer military wiring is 12 volts. Just like the city Chevy trucks the power is taped from the rear lights and they are 12volts. If you are going to tow a military trailer either the trailer lamps will be very dim or the trailer lamps will need to be replaced with 12 v versions. The...

I agree with rustystud your lines are top shelf. I'm glad I was able to get a set. Aaron, be expecting a pm from me on Friday on the stuff we already talked about. chris

Yes the adaptor is what made it for the m1009. All gm cucv's use the same yellow gear.

Same thing is happening to me on my iPad. I believe it's apart of your security set up on the iPad and not an issue with the site. My laptop only needs to re log on after an update or if I delete cookies and history. I'm not going to change my settings on the iPad. Yea, it's a pita but with all...

One thing that is not be said on this thread is on the sprag unit the ratio is different between the front drive and the rear. If you did a manual engagement lever for the front drive and you are on a hard surface all kind of things can go wrong and break. The two cases air/sprag are the same it...

If you leave the switch in service drive a relay is engaged that controls power to the spot light on the roof. The tm says to position the switch in the off position after you are done operating the vehicle for the day. It was easier to keep the procedure the same for the 1980's cucv to keep it...

This would be good addition to the tm section IMO.

Clinto is right on the money. I am in the middle of a tear down and found the mounting holes in the cab for the hood hinges full of cracks that was hidden by the hinge plates. Of coarse to get to the bolts under the dash is a lot of fun. All kinds of stuff in the way to get around but it is...

I was bending bars trying to to loosen my lugs and some just would not budge on my M35a2. I able to acquire a calibrated 3/4" torque wrench that was due for resert and I increased to setting until the lugs came loose. It was in the area of 600 - 650 ft. lbs. Twice as much as the required 325 to...

The plastic gear that is inside the trasfer case can malfunction. If the gear reducer that attaches to the transfer has a "load" on it (dry reducer and/or speedo cable) the square input on the inside of the plastic gear can get stripped out. It will look like its ok but the metal shaft (from the...

All the lights work, it also has a PA/siren. Did the battery equilizer conversion. Just need to charge the ac.

Why not change the alt with one that has a higher apm rating? The alt that charges the front battery is a 100amp 12v from factory. Both alternators are ground isolated from the factory but you could get a new one that is not ground isolated and use it for the front battery charging only. Others...

Sounds like its working. Congrats!

I've been looking at humvee tm's about the duel voltage alt setups. It looks to me the vehical keeps two batteries in series for the 24 volts and also adds 12volts to the "first battery". The secondary or lower votage that is generated is less than the 24v side. Per design the duel voltage alt...

That was the point I was trying to get to with equiptment having 25+ years of service anything is possable at this point. My m35a2 has a sprag transfer and the front turn/marker lights really dont fit inside the hoops. I'm thinking the light I should have should be the round ones to fit in the...
